ton of Prof, Elisha Gray for permission

to result in a new interference and hence
the reopening of the whole case in which
IN 1879 Bell was declared TO be the prior
inventor. The decision was reserved.

TWO LUCKY MEN.
A Barber and a Laborer Win a Big Prize
In the Louisiana state Lottery.

Zacharias Messenger is a barber who
has pursued his trade of scraping chins
and clipping hair at 3l5 Bush street for
some Two or three years past. He has
during that time had the honor of exer-
clslng his tunsorial art upon the caput
and physiognomy of Boss Buckley and in
consequence has enjoyed the patronage OF
the followers Of the great Bush street
statesman. His trade was a good one
and afforded him a good living, but moth
n more, and he has endeavored to in.
crease his store Of gold by wooing the
tickle Goddess of Fortune by investing in
lottery tickets He paid his addresses
more particularly to the good dame who
presldes over the drawings of the Loulsi
an Sta,e Lottery and has held one or
TWO coupons in nearly every drawing dur
ing the last three years. AS the gamblers
say, he has played in good luck and has
nearly always won enough to give him a
small profit, SO that lately he has been
playing with the money Of the bank"
A few drawings ago he came down town
and as he passed the Chronicle office he
saw by the bulletin board that ticket
$1,000 had drawn the capital prize of
Sl5O,OOO. lie knew that his ticket was
1900 and something. and he rushed
home to get it. His delight can be i'm e.
med when be found that lie held a coupon
Of the winning ticket, which entitled him
to $4,000, He went down to his shop,
presented each of his assistants with a
suit of clothes, made arrangements for
them to carry on the business, and last
week he and his vile started on a trip to
Europe He expects to be gone about
seven months, and to spend from SO, 500
to 81, 900 on the trip. The remainder OF
the money he will invest in some safe Sc.
curity as a nestegg, and when he gets
pack will put it into some legitimate bust
ness.
The other lucky man is a Swede named
A. Monson, who lives at 1864 Center
street in Oakland, He is a laborine man
and has been living a hand to mouth ex
istence such as usually falls to the lot of a
toiler in the land. He bought a coupon
from a peddler as a speculation. When
he heard Of his good luck he could not
believe il, and when convinced that he
had won $4,000, turned white with
nervous excitement. He is a single man
and is now much sought after by the
young ladies of his acquaintance.--San

Notes From the Capitalize
National Drill.

National Association of Builders.
CHICAGO. MAY 24-The executive
board of the National Association OF
Builders left this evening after issuing an
address to the builders and traders ex
change of Chicago and all affiliated bodies
of the national association and to the gen.
eral public. An entirely new method of
dealing with workmen is evolved and a
course of wholesale lockouts advocated.
A complete cessation of work in all the
building trades OF Chicago, as an answer
to the bricklayers' demand for the Satur
day pay day. is fully endorsed by the
board. The question is stated to have
been inconsea1ential in its effect, had 1t
not been preceded bv a long series of
%usurpations by trades unions.
After commencing to contractors in
other cities the course pursued by Chicago
builders. the board proceeded to euumer-
ate the ''encroachments' that must be
reconquered by employers. The first is
the concession by which unions are able to
Drevent workmen not members of a union
from obtaining work. The other en-
croachments are the arbitrary powers Of
walking delegates, the restriction of the
number of apprentices and the require
ment that the foreman shall be a union
man.
All branches of the National Builders
Association are advised to assume the
same attitude as the Chicago men if an
issue is forced upon them. The address
closes by suggesting that every exchange
throughout the country adopt the plat.
form given, which advises the creation of
a bureau ofrecord where any and all work
men may put themselves on record as
senting to the Chicago exchanges princi
pies OF individual liberty, and by and
through which such men will be kept at
work and protected. After a certain
time steps should be taken to make such
workmen members of the National Build
ers' Association, thus in~stituting for the
first time a union wherein employer and
employe hal be Joined and their interests
considered as common. as they should.
